Hey so my server is finally doing succesfull numbers on social media, and in game but we have one major problem DDOS attacks I have worked with our host to close some common ports etc I used NovoNode they have been amazing. I then switched to ■■■■■■■■■■ as I saw 17tb of ddos built in protection well that was a total fucking scam within seconds of our RP starting we were slammed and offline. With our hold host NovoNode they helped us alot but they did a glitch where TX admin detects a hang and restarts the server. Anyone have any ideas to prevent these constant ddos attacks I mean there has to be a solution as there are many servers up with high player counts I dont get this.

Cloudflare tunnel is a good choice, it requires some tinkering but there’s posts here on the forums explaining how to set it up properly
Using a host that has a robust infrastructure is about the only thing you can do to effectively slow/stop DDoS attacks.

Ip white listing is the only option to prevent ddos…2 years back in my server also we had same issue…so we created custom firewall cofig software for automatic adding ip of players to firewall and blocked all traffic from outside and also blocked all port…

IP whitelisting in the operating system firewall will not prevent DDOS in the long term. If someone is serious here and 1 - 100 Gbit are received by the network card, this will no longer help.
For a real DDOS defense, you need a provider who is able to filter out the malicious data packets based on characteristics. To do this, the provider usually has to create a DDOS protection template specially adapted to FiveM for DDOS protection.
